USS Richmond
Not quite the Hartford!
USS Richmond was launched in 1860 at Gosport Naval Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia. She was soon commissioned and sailed for the Mediterranean on unknown business. When she returned in mid-1861, the nation was as war and she was sent to the Caribbean to search for the commerce raider CSS Sumter. The ship eluded capture though and Richmond was sent to join the Gulf Blockading Squadron where she participated in the Battle of the Head of Passes in October 1861 and ran the gauntlet at New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson, coming through all three relatively unscathed and assisting in capturing the towns. She then was stationed near Mobile Bay in 1864 and took part in the battle heavily damaging CSS Tennessee and assisting in the bombardment of Fort Morgan. She was then placed on patrol duty around Mobile Bay and Pensacola Bay aiding in the capture of CSS Webb in April 1865.
After the war, Richmond was decommissioned and recommissioned several times and sailed to the Mediterranean, the Pacific, Cuba, Japan, Canada, and many other places before being struck from the Navy registry in 1919 and sold for scrap. She was burned in 1920 to recover metal from her construction.
This ship is modeled in 1/600 scale and can be printed using any resin or FDM printer. Ship comes with and without base.
When printing in FDM, some details may be too small to print with a stock 0.4mm nozzle.
Included with this purchase is:
